yes but hedgehog is different then ground hog. hedgehogs aren't native to the americas and as a matter of fact, i have never even seen one here.. not in the pet store, not anywhere.

Loco is correct. Hedgehogs are not native to the US, though I do know a couple of people who have them for pets. Groundhogs are the same thing known as Wood Chucks...those nasty creatures that wipe out your vegetable garden!

Warsawian hedgehog. How can one tell it`s from Warsaw? Because it`s cheeky and easy going...

Bo, did I tell you I like your sense of humour even though you're from Krakow?

Hmm, I think you told me you like my sense of h. because it sounds so Krakowian which impresses you greatly, like everything that comes from Krakow, even Krakowskie Przedmieście (Krakow`s Suburbs, the poshest street oin Warsaw)

oh that's cool. i had a hedgehog as a pet when i was a kid. they are pretty cool. maybe they just have them at pet stores out east.

hedgehogs have spikes, that is not fur. they aren't related to porcupines, i don't think, as those are larger and their quills fall out and i don't think they play dead although i didn't see when my dog run into one of those. hedgehogs just roll up and become a ball of spikes. very hard to handle then. hedgehogs are pretty small too.

Aren't they also noctural, sleeping all day and active at night? Seems to me that after the novelty wore off, they'd be a kind of boring pet for a child.
